Most films we watch are able to meet the bare minimum of having the title relate to the movie somehow. "The Room" mostly takes place in a single room. "Samurai Cop" was about a cop who knew some martial arts. But then we have "Troll 2" which was about . . . goblins. This film is called "Holy Terror" and bills itself as being about a killer nun but after seeing it, well, they are really stretching that explanation.
"Holy Terror" is really a film about a pretty boring seven person swinger house party made by a guy who might have gone to Catholic school but likely did not go to film school. A nun gets possessed or killed or something and then haunts a house that is then rented out to a young couple who refuse to wear shirts with sleeves. From there, 90% of the movie is lingering shots of boobs and the various couples who come over for a party partnering up with other people while dancing. At one point the main girl takes a long shower in blood and it takes her a disturbingly long time to notice (this was likely done to justify the film cover above and include more boob).The remainder of the film consists of about 9% Ouija board use and 1% actual killing. And I should point out that this movie is only 54 minutes long but manages to have a Behind The Scenes reel that clocks in at a hour and 15 minutes. Ultimately everyone dies except the realtor and the one girl at the party he decided was worthy of saving and they take off for Mexico.
This movie was cheap and lazy. There's nothing resembling a plot (compare to "Crazy Fat Ethel 2"), the music was clearly made by someone's buddy with a synthesizer who just decided to rip off Metallica and the "Phantom of the Opera" theme, and the living room where a lot of the so-called action takes place has three futons. THREE. My suspension of disbelief is just shattered.

Was glad to read a good review about a bad movie so I can find a better use for my time. Tubi carries a distressingly large number of films like this. For every "Hereditary" there are 100 "Sharktopus vs.Werewhales". Thanks for the warning.
